Lou Silluzio emigrated to Australia from Italy in 1957 when he was nine. Following a successful career in design building and real estate, a health scare convinced him to become the author he always wanted to be, and his children's series was born. Lou lives in Melbourne, Australia with his beautiful wife, Roberta. He is the proud father of three, and an even prouder grandfather of six. His grandchildren are the inspiration for his books, and he hopes his true-to-life stories will impart life lessons for readers of all ages.
